Well, not 17, but if I was 11 again: - Start building your social skills - Use internet to research and get better - Start going to gym and learn martial arts ok imma stop here cuz the more I think about it, the more I wanna add. Point is I was a damn fool and wasted my teenage years.

Built and executed all those ideas I had. Oh man they were a lot of ideas! But I guess we will learn from our past to become better now and in the future.

1. Life is bigger and more dynamic than exams, jobs and careers! 2. Life is better at teaching LESSONS than teachers and bosses! 3. Understand communication techniques, money, economics and politics!

If I could go back and talk to my 17-year-old self, I would share some valuable insights and advice to pave the way for a more fulfilling and successful journey. I'd remind myself to embrace failure and setbacks as stepping stones to growth, as they are inevitable parts of any entrepreneurial endeavor. I'd encourage my younger self to take more risks and not be afraid of pursuing ambitious dreams. It's essential to believe in yourself and your ideas, even if others may doubt you. Surrounding yourself with supportive and like-minded individuals can make a significant difference in your entrepreneurial path. I'd also emphasize the importance of continuous learning and staying open to new opportunities and experiences. Embrace curiosity and be hungry for knowledge, as it will undoubtedly fuel your creativity and drive. Lastly, I'd whisper a hint of the future, teasing the upcoming launch of Retime(https://www.producthunt.com/prod...). The journey ahead will be challenging, but incredibly rewarding, as I'll soon embark on the adventure of creating a game-changing meeting assistant that will redefine how professionals approach their daily meetings. So, my 17-year-old self, buckle up and get ready for an exciting ride ahead! The best is yet to come! 🚀
